Pediatrics - Division of Neonatology

Welcome to the Division of Neonatology at Staten Island University Hospital. While the birth of a newborn infant is generally a happy experience, there are times when problems arise and admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) becomes necessary. The Level IIIb NICU provides treatment to any infants requiring specialized care amongst the 3,000 babies born annually at SIUH

Members of the Division of Neonatology at Staten Island University Hospital are highly trained specialists who provide care to newborns with a wide range of medical and surgical problems including prematurity and its complications, respiratory disorders, infections, congenital heart disease, jaundice, genetic disorders and feeding and nutritional issues. The NICU staff is available onsite 24 hours per day and includes a dedicated group of attending neonatologists, neonatal nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pediatric residents, respiratory therapists, occupational/rehabilitation therapists and lactation consultants.

The state-of-the-art medical care provided by the NICU includes mechanical ventilation, both conventional and high frequency, several modes of non-invasive ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide and whole body cooling. In addition, pediatric surgical specialists are available to operate on a wide range of congenital abnormalities in the tiniest of patients. Pediatric radiologists are also available to provide assistance in the diagnosis and evaluation of newborn infants.

Along with the highest quality of medical care, the NICU team practices family-centered care with family-centered daily rounds, kangaroo care and open visitation in order to maximize time spent by parents at the bedside. Tours of the NICU and more information are available by calling the NICU at (718) 226 8370.
